The Jack Northcott photograph album contains black-and-white photographs and assorted printed ephemera related to Northcott's United States Navy service during the 1950s. The album was likely collected and put together by Northcott or a close friend or family member.

The front cover of the green leather[?] album has two (2) personalizations. On the top left side is a circular seal edged in red with a blue dragon over a ship [possibly a submarine]. Along the seal on the top reads "Patrol Squadron 50" and the bottom reads "U. S. Pacific Fleet." In the center of the cover a rectangular piece of black leather has been affixed and has military wings and "Jack Northcott," both in gold print. There is also a imprint on the lower right that reads "Scraps and Snaps."

Most of the contents of the album are black-and-white photographs of varying sizes. There is a mix of casual shots and portraits and includes no visible captioning or identification. The photographs are affixed to the pages with a mix of photo corners and adhesive so it is unknown if there is captioning on the reverse of images. There are also eight (8) loose black-and-white photographs within the album, which were left in the location and order found. Photographs feature aircraft, including the Martin PBM Mariner; people, including several images of Jack Northcott; scenic and city life shots, such as parades and street scenes; and are a mix of personal and military subjects.

There are also a variety of pieces of printed ephemera, including military certificates, such as Northcott's Honorable Discharge, dated October 1953; clippings, several of which feature Northcott; menus, military records, and humorous cards and poems.
